Resumen
Descripción
More than 60 percent of the population of Kyrgyzstan lives in rural areas and depends on agriculture for its livelihood. Most of the farms are small and run by individual farmers, who have been identified as vulnerable groups for poverty. Women account for 30 percent of the economically active population in agriculture. Against this background, there was a lack of experienced and trained personnel and farmers, as well as a shortage of modern equipment and communication means. The project aimed to support the development of agriculture in the Issyk-Kul region in Kyrgyzstan, by improving the technical capacity of farmers, especially rural women, and promoting modern crop management and plant protection techniques.
